1. Make sure your tires are inflated properly. Tires that are under inflated can reduce your car's fuel economy by over 2%
2. Get a tune-up! An engine properly tuned can increase your MPG by over 4%
3. Don't go over the speed limit! The faster you go, the lower fuel economy you get. When you go anywhere over 55 MPH you can lose over 30% fuel economy.
4. Use hills to your advantage, don't hit the gas pedal going down - just let gravity take over. It's FREE gas mileage!
5. When you are on the expressway, hit the cruise button.
6. Don't open your windows for fresh air when on the expressway, it will minimize your fuel economy by causing drag. Use your a/c instead.
7. Don't hang out in your car with it idling. If you are stopping for more than a minute shut the car off, unless you are stopped at a traffic light or in traffic at all for that matter!
